The Little Man Failed to Turn the Other Cheek-He APoloEIzed and Thcn Fought.
 From the Chicago Tribune.l
 "Look here; you can't run against me in that kind of way!" exclaimed large, red faced man, with b1istling hair and whiskers, to meek-looking fellow of average stature who had accidentally brushed against him in hul tying across West Madison street, near Hal sted, Saturday morning last at an early hour.
 ''I beg your pardon, sir," said the meek looking man, in a deprecating way; Eff I ran against you it was accidental"
 "Well, it didn't look like it to me-" blus- tered the red-faced bully; "and I tell you right now you don't want to do it again"
 "I have apologizsd to you for it, sir," was the reply; ''what more do you wants"
 "I don't want any of your lip! That's what I don't want" vociferated the bully, crowding the tnoffensive and apologetic man almost off the walk; ''for two cents I'd chug you one right now"
 ''I'm iii a hu1ry," pleaded the smaller man; "I have an engagement--"
 "You'd better have an engagement, I can tell you"
 s'I have to meet pe1son in ten nainutes,' D persisted the meek-looking man, glancing at his watch, s'but think I can make it in about eight, and unless an mistaken can convince you in two minutes that to take an apology is the best and sometimes the safest way to settle a matter of this kind"
 With this remark he shot out his right fist with the air of man accustomed to gestures of that nature, and landed it with precision and force on the nose of the big bully.
 "I can generally spare time from an en- | ho fo1 blow with his left on the big mans jaw and adroitly dodged heavy lunge in return, "te polish of chap that needs it as badly as you seem to. think I'll give you another one right there," said he meditatively, as he delivered crushing blow on the nose again, (which will be accompanied by the claret, not necessarily for publication, but as g guarantee of good faith"
 The big fellow, taken by surprise and dazed by the vigor of the attack, struck out awkwardly, but without effect.
 CT have less than 0 minute to spare. I must hurry" said the smaller man, and he planted blow under his burly antagonists ear, stretching him at full length on the sidewalk. Then, looking at his watch again, he was off before crowd had had time to collect. The big man slowly arose to his feet and slunk away, with disposition to let the matter drop.
 
 From the Nineteenth Century.]
 Seeing that the average brain weight of women is about five ounces less than that of men, on merely anatomatical grounds we should be prepared to expect marked infe- riority of intellectual power in the former. Moreover, as the general physique of women is less robust than that of men-and there fore less able to sustain the fatigue of seri- ous or prolonged brain action-we should also on physiological grounds be prepared to entertain similar anticipation. In actual fact we find that the inferiority displays it. self most conspicuously in a comparative absence of originality, and this more espec- ially in the higher levels of intellectual work. In her powers of acquisition the woman cer- tainly stands nearer to the man than she does in her powers of creative thought, all though even as regards the former there is a marked difference. The difference, however, is one which does not assert itself till the period of adolescence-young girls being in deed usually more acquisitive than boys of tlonal experiences both in this country and in America. But as soon as the brain, and with it the organism whole, reaches the stage of full development, it becomes appa rent that there is greater power of amass- ing knowledge on the part of the male. Whether we look to the general average or the intellectual giants of both sexes, we are similarly met with the general fact that
